  1. You can make a specific layer set for this purpose that would only have that particular layer in red. You would need to send that layer set to the layout pages and print in color like Eric mentioned.
  2. Dermot- not sure how it got off the origin but that fixed it. Thank you!
  3. Yes, I can turn all layers on and it still does it. If I try to draw a solid in plan view it disappears as soon as I release the mouse. It's still there because I can click on it but its invisible for some reason in plan view. Thanks for the help everyone! 1551366753_PerkinsCabinAtTheRocksReversed.zip
  4. Hi All, I just upgraded to x14 and 3D solids are not showing up in floor plan views. I opened in camera view and verified fill pattern. All layers are turned on so I don't think that's the problem.
  5. Hi All, Is there a setting that will stop the construction lines from interfering with object moves in X13? If I try to move an object, wall, etc., the construction lines are stopping the move unless I hold the control button. Thanks, Rick
  6. Weird thing is it was 90 degrees when i did dimensions and some cad work and it somehow moved if that's possible. The cad boxes don't line up with the framing because now the framing is skewed. It wasn't like that before because i was snapping to the framing with cad boxes.
  7. I have a 3d mouse but it doesn't rotate in the camera view. It will zoom, etc. but wont rotate...
  8. Is there a way to change the cross section camera angles in X12? I did a bunch of notes in a backclipped cross section and somehow it got skewed a few degrees from 90. Can't figure out how to get it back.
  9. Can you re-post that link? It is saying couldn't locate item.
  10. Yes, that would be ideal. I'm using the macro to auto generate the length but cant figure out how to do it in feet instead of inches.
  11. I added a signature but in case it doesn't show up i'm running X11. Thanks for the help!
  12. Does anyone know how to make the object specific framing joist macro labels in ft and inches ('0-0") instead of inches?
  13. Thanks for the help! I will try overlapping them...never thought of that.
  14. How do you do a straight set that has open railing at the bottom on one side for say 5 treads and then it is closed between two walls at the top?
  15. I had them like that but was having a hard time with other layers showing on top. Seems strange that Chief wouldn't have a setting for one of the most important pieces of information in the plan (measurements) to be always on top or at least be able to move to the top.
  16. Does any one know how to move the dimensions to the front in X8? I am dimensioning some beams in a crawl space that I moved to the front group and the dimension arrow is know hidden under the beam.
  17. Thanks for the reply. That seems like an easy way to do it.
  18. I'm building a roof with exposed 2 x 6 Rafters, 1" rough sawn boards, 3 layers of 2" foam, 2" Sleepers, and corrugated metal on top. The 1" rough sawn and the three layers of 2" foam need to stop at the wall so the overhang looks like an old shed....open underneath showing the sleepers and metal only from the bottom. Is there a way to accomplish this in X8 without drawing separate roof planes for the overhangs?
  19. Thanks for the help....turning the ignore casing for resize did it.
  20. I am using x7 and cant get the interior doors to get close to the inside wall corner.... I tried removing the casing but it still doesn't help. Is there a setting to allow it to get within an 1 1/2" of the corner?
